Abstract
The lateral soil pressure distribution, pile capacity, and displacements of instrumented single rigid bored piles subjected to pure moment and horizontal load have been investigated. The influence of method of pile installation on the above parameters is studied by comparing the behaviour of bored piles with that of jacked piles. It was concluded that the method of installation has practically no effect so far as the net lateral soil pressures and pile capacity are concerned, but the displacements may be up to three times larger for a bored pile than for a jacked pile under working loads. Key words: clay, horizontal load, installation, model test, moment, pile.
